I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra, the first year they made them I believe. Anyway I've owned it since October 2001. Still running strong with over 500,000 miles on it.
R S · The reason why am asking is because i had a 07 Toyota Tundra the short bed the 4.0 liter V6. Not the 5.7 V8 . But i loved that truck. Unfeortunately i couldn't handle the high payments. And they reeposed my 07 Tundra short bed truck😔
@@rolandocurro8842 I don’t really drive the truck and feel bad that it sits around without being utilized... I have been using my truck more over the summer with a massive yard clean up and pulling stumps out with my truck and hauling the debris to the local township dump !! I have always been the type of person that if I don’t use a piece of machinery I will sell it or give it away ... for instance I have away a 89 Kawasaki Ninja that sat for 6 years and a Ford Bronco that sat for over a year !! I would rather have someone else enjoy it that will use than have it sit around and rust out ... I’m not a fan of people that keep a car in a barn or yard sitting and mice chewing on wires and rust building up on the quarter panels !!
There are a number of cases in the states where 4.7L V8 2UZ-FE engines are getting to one million miles relatively trouble free. Remarkable feat of engineering.
Twin Flag · I thank you. Yeap !, you said it. Once you get to changing the engibe oil the transmission oil. the differential oil. Brake fluid also needs to be changed. Once you do all your due maintenace on your Tundra wether it-s a 2003 or up to 2008 and so on "" It "" will last you and last and last you etc. You will almost get sick of your very dependable and very reliable Toyota Tundra 💪💪💪
I have one with 286,900 miles , no issues, I’ve replaced fuel pump, starter , and radiator. I’m never getting rid of it . It’s my side kick . ND Miata on the weekends , Toyota Tundra week days
Tundra, Tacoma, Titan, Ridgeline, Frontier. All of these American made trucks are quite cool. Not very overpriced compared to their Made in Mexico Fiat-Dodge and Chevy rivals.
Tactical Teacher here, 30 years in the high school classroom and Tacoma fanboy (5 x). Great job explaining the brake components upgrade. I’m really enlightened now after seeing how the rear bumper and trailer hitch was replaced/upgraded. You guys at Speed Academy have a super power. Clients are/will be/likely to upgrade or replace factory OEM stuff once you present the options/facts to them in such a simple straightforward means. Well done. Maybe I’ll be ready to upgrade my 2017 Taco TRD Off Road one day at your shop. Peace be to journey! Cheers
First video I ever watched on Speed Academy was the Tundra Fender Flares, right after I bought my Tundra. Good to see the old Tundra is still there and running strong!
When I bought my 2007 Tundra it was within a month of my friend buying his 2007 Chevy Silverado. His was comparable to mine in features but much less in price. Two years ago he traded his in for a new one when the old one started leaking oil out of the rear seal. My Tundra is still going strong with no leaks and only the water pump replaced. We both had around the same mileage on our trucks. I have 98,000 and he had at the time around 93,000. So comparable. We are both retired and seldom tow anything. Actually I think mine gets harder use because I need to haul stuff in my bed lots more than he does as I do some construction. Anyway my take is that yes if all you want is bells and whistles then go Dodge, GM and Ford. You want reliability then go Toyota. The Honda is good but doesn't have the capacity for heavy work. Just my take.
@@TempoMontages lol not on a toyota, its driven by the timing belt. Tear half your engine apart. Rear main seals always leak a little and can be driven like that for the life of the vehicle.
uneven wear on single sided piston calipers is completely normal. The piston (back side) will always wear quicker. this is also why the rotor is typically thicker on the back side. Another great episode guys!
I was a Toyota tech for a year. Regularly seen customers on their 3rd set of pads and original rotors still. Those people weren't towing. But the Tundras opposed piston calipers are leaps and bounds ahead of the shit you find on an F150 or Ram or Sierra/Silverado.
Funny because national highway safety institute rated that the Silverados were better at braking than the tundras. And Silverados have traditional dual piston design 😂
@@X-i-l-e-n-t I guarantee you won't beat 4 piston calipers. Its not just stopping distance. Tires have alot to do with it also. There are cheap compact cars that stop shorter from 60 to 0 than some super cars and sports cars. That doesnt mean their brakes are better. And if those single/dual pistons on one side calipers were better, race cars would use the old school single piston and dual piston ones. The tundra has the largest diameter rotors on a half ton and 4 piston calipers. I guarantee you with a heavy load those brakes will outperform the chevy. Especially when it comes to brake fade and downhill braking. A dually takes longer to stop than a smaller pickup, but put even just 5,000lbs behind them both and the dually will stop shorter, especially from highway speeds.
We have 3 of these for work trucks... for concrete work. Run from NS To Ontario nonstop sadly never an oil change on time lol but they have neeeeever not started. They rule! People complain about gas mileage but its never in the shop for something other than brakes.
You know, I'm Canadian, but I live in the US. Every time I watch Speed Academy I am reminded of Toronto and how I grew up. I havent had a mars bar or pizza from Pizza Pizza in forever. Man I miss Canada.
I've covered 1 million miles with all different Toyota models since I started driving at 16, older friend of mine was a mechanic told me when I was looking for my first car "kid you want a car that's gonna run forever by a Toyota or a Honda" best advice I was ever told....lol. I've owned a Tundra gen1 gen2, Sequoia, Forerunner, Tacoma, Rav 4, Avalon and Corolla. My Corolla had 360k when I sold it and it was still running fine....lol. Drove a few of them I to over 200k, I never worry about warranties and never had any major failures and I've bought many with over 100k on the clock. I do my all my own mantainance and in my experience they are insanely reliable and resale is fantastic even with the high miles, American cars are worthless over 150k. Besides regular maintenance costs I've only spent maybe $1500 on actual repairs between all of them, never had any electrical issues ever. Issues I have had Starter which is nothing out of the ordinary, starter on my 2000 4Runner at 150,000 and a exhaust sensor at 170k....water pump on my 2008 Sequoia at 135,000 and heater blower motor at 155k it was getting noisy which currently has 170k and running great, burn 1/2 quart of oil between 8K mile oil changes. Did the radiator on my 2005 Avalon at 220k which now has 235,000 miles on it still running like a Swiss watch and barely burns a drop of oil at 8k mile interval oil changes. I live in the salt belt and wash the under carriage 2 times a week in the winter as they use the spray salt which destroys vehicles, looks like they need to start washing the under carriage on this Tundra it's getting eaten up!! LOL
I have 140,000 on my 2007, no problems. I had the dealer put new brake pads on, rotors looked good yet. I ended up re-doing the brake pads because they squeeked so bad! I guess I should have done it myself from the get go. I also had to replace my oil filter cap. They had that all rounded off. I modified an aluminum one to work in it's place. I do all my own maintenance niw that I'm retired.
Jeff Loucks - water pump is a common wear item. Mine didn’t fail but had a very small leak so I replaced it at 117k. While I had all that apart I also replaced the idler pulley, alternator, fan clutch, and new belt.
I used to be ignorant enough to be 100% loyal to Silverados, but I've woken up and bought a 2016 Tundra TRD Pro with a Magnuson supercharger with only 35k miles. I've upgraded the brakes with rotors and pads from PowerStop and have Cooper AT3 tires and Silverado style towing mirrors for it next. THESE TUNDRAS ARE AMAZING!!!
I have a 2000 tundra 3.4 v6 with a 4spd automatic. I bought it brand new with 0 miles. I've had it for 20 years... 286,000 trouble free miles... I've never had to take it to the shop... The A/C blows like winter Original engine and trans Original rear brakes Original fuel pump Original u joints Original wheel bearings Tires last 5 years Original friggin headlight bulbs The list goes on I've been driving with no car payments for 17 yrs.... This is hands down the very best vehicle ever made by any manufacturer... Ford. Chevy. Dodge not even close...
thats grate my dad has a 2002 Toyota tundra he got it wean i was born in 2002 and its 2023 and its still running 390k miles he had to replace the back mid exhaust but other than that its runing stong and now i drive it to work wile i save for one! keep up the good work
A friend of mine did upgrade his hitch as he was rear ended just like you. He upgraded to a heavy duty one. Next time he got rear ended it was the frame that got damaged and not the hitch. He regretted instantly the upgrade. And he wasn’t even hit that hard the second time. I won’t be upgrading mine, sometimes you want a sacrificial part to take the beating and save the truck.
Thank you for explaining why a true winter tire is more proper to wear in North America, during the winter months, for not just ice and snow, but because of the grip/performance in the lower temperature. I fully recommend Supertech (Warren Distribution Co.) full-synthetic, can buy a 4+ liter jug for $15US, at Walmart stores or online, performs as good as Redline and Amazon, I use it for all of my family's vehicles. Don't let the price-point fool ya, Supertech is the best and is super cheap.
Yes, by far! If you want Corinthian leather, Burlwood Trim, and a 36745 speaker stereo system, then the Tundra is NOT for you! If you want the most reliable and capable truck in the world, then the Tundra is your choice!
Tundra isn't the most reliable and capable truck in the world. The Toyota can't and doesn't compete with the Power Wagon or the Raptor. It certainly can't best my dream truck. The Marauder. The Marauder can survive I.E.D. blasts and drive away unharmed. There is also the Mercedes Unimog. Bests the Toyota is pretty much all categories. It's fine to love what you drive and want what you have. There is always something better out there. My 2000 Ram 1500 is @250k miles and still working just fine.
I have an 05 first gen limited, it has 40k on it, looks like it just came out of the show room, unfortunately lack of use and age caused a few problems, the evap system had to be replaced, there was a recall, but for some reason I never got it, I took it to toyota and they said I missed the deadline by 1 year, they wanted 4k to fix it, it cost me 1600$ at my local garage, because of age I was afraid the timing belt was going to go so I had that replaced, while they took the engine apart they found that the water pump and the radiator were leaking, 1200$ later I have all new belts, water pump, radiator and tensioner pulley, so after 15 yrs, all I spent was 2800$. Love my truck, it will be a hand me down for my grandkids.
We had a 1st gen Tundra too and it was a fantastic truck! Only ever had to change the alternator belt and do the usual oil changes and brake jobs while towing race cars all over the continent 👍🏼
Mine is a 2007 with 190,000 km on it. It’s running flawlessly and it’s rare. A reg cab 6.5 ft box. Not to many of these around. 4.7 v8, synthetic oil changes that I do myself so hoping to get 500,000 km out of this truck!
I have a 2013 Tundra. 105000 miles runs like the day I bought it. Although I had a 2015 corolla and ac went out twice once under warranty. I sold it second time.
Great video, and big thanks to all the links you guys always put in your description. I have an 07 Tundra as well and I also need a new rear bumper and breaks in the future so perfect timing.
I have 140k on my 2014 Tundra. Ive only had 2 signal bulbs go out. Just changed my drive belt at 140k to be safe because it started to make some noise on cold starts. This truck will last a lifetime.
I have a 2008 was a basket case when I picked it up. Front end suspension refresh and new rad and water pump she is perfect. Looking forward to 300k out of the old 5.7
I bought a 2010 tundra 5.7l sr-5 doublecab long box and it had 92k on it 5 months ago when I bought it now it has just over 100k and besides gas and an oil change its been great to me I love it
As someone in the technology field, I would be incredibly wary of trusting ANY part of my braking system to a bluetooth connection. Especially one that has to communicate through 10 feet of iron and steel.
I agree. I'm skeptical of the electronic brake controllers in general, the admittedly small knowlege I have of them make them seem like hacky DIY things to install, and doesn't seem to be anywhere near idiot proof. As far as I know, only fully mechanical, inertia controlled brakes are used in Europe for anything meant to hook up to a car or pickup. This style of brakes adjust brake pressure automatically and fully mechanically based on the pressure the trailer exerts on the hitch, and is basically idiot proof as long as the hitch is secured to the vehicle.
I've been watching your videos for a little bit now - the STi build, the BMW build, the Evo Build, and now these update videos. You've become my new favorite automotive youtube channel, I love your quality and the work you guys do! Keep up the great work, you guys deserve at least 1M subs!!
Hey fellow Ontarian! Great video mate! 140k miles is barely broken in! My 87 4R head gaskets finally got out after 420k km (close to 280k miles), original everything except for the alternator. I'm at my third Toyota, and these trucks run for-ever. I would be surprised if you have any real issue for another 150k miles on the v8. Cheers!
My 07 5.7 510,000 Sr5 4 door long bed it's my every day work truck will use it till I retire from the construction business maybe 7 more years but it might outlast me !!!
ARGH why does Pete always have to touch and eat weird stuff he finds in cars xD. Truck cleaned up great! Glad the TEs survived the blowout as well. Definitely going to check out the undercoating as well. The one trip up to you guys made my poor Dodge break out in all kinds of rust, lol!
Doesn't matter with fluid film and other oil undercoatings, the idea is to just stop air and salt getting at the metal. Ideally it should just stay the same as it was before undercoating and not get worse.
Hi from Texas! I travel a lot on business, I have spent a lot of time in Ottawa and Toronto. Love hangin' out with y'all Canadians, as a whole you re just spun a little less tight than us Yanks. Thanks for the hi-mileage review of the Tundra, looking for my next full-size pick up and this is a strong contender.
I’m at 571000km on one Toyota Hilux And 380000km on the other Hilux Both still minty fresh I like the clicking the fingers bit, yep we don’t need to watch ya wash the truck!
I put over 50 thousand miles on my 2004 Ford f150 v6 5 speed Heritage model in the last year and a half driving 100 miles a day for work. Nothing broke just oil change about every 3- 4 month
It funny how Toyota guys say yer I changed my battery some tyres one globe the front brakes like 2years ago! Because there is literally nothing goes wrong with them!
I pull a 45 ft flat bed conestoga trailer w a rolling tarp system. It has aluminum side rails with wheels the roll in it. Fluid film is the best lubricant to keep everything rolling smooth. I open n close the thing 20 30 times a day.
My brother in law Marc thinks Toyota is junk. He is not happy with his Tacoma and one of his coworkers has a Tundra and the timing chain tensioner failed causing catastrophic damage to some of the engine. Myself...i love Toyota...my 13 Taco has 162 000 kms. Only real problems is new rear springs....one hub/bearing and now my heated seats dont work. Overall, my truck has been outstanding. Next new truck will be a Tundra. Need more power to tow my camper.
Guysssss you always manage to install tires on backwards (rear right and possibly front left), please check the direction of rotation of the tires before installing them, they'll perform alot better
Me again. I live in the UP of MI> The nearest car wash is 30 miles away. So, I hooked my hot water heater to the outside hose. Works great!!! Minimal rust on my autos.
I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra, the first year they made them I believe. Anyway I've owned it since October 2001. Still running strong with over 500,000 miles on it.
Yep just ran in!!!
2000 tundra SR5 was my first truck, got lucky & had the whole frame replaced in 2020! Still running great with 300,000
WOW. what all have you had to do to it engine/transmission wise?
Now that’s a long term review not this bs video
Wow oh wow that’s amazing 🤩, my 03 has almost 200 km on her and keeping her forever!!!
Even a neglected Toyota turns out to be more reliable then a VW Touareg.😉
I can verify this.
Everyday and twice on Sunday!
funny how that works, lol
Don’t even bring up the name VW right now ,my 14 Jetta tdi starter just died $420

I have a 2000 tundra 3.4 v6 with a 4spd automatic. I bought it brand new with 0 miles. I've had it for 20 years... 286,000 trouble free miles... I've never had to take it to the shop... The A/C blows like winter
Original engine and trans
Original rear brakes
Original fuel pump
Original u joints
Original wheel bearings
Tires last 5 years
Original friggin headlight bulbs
The list goes on
I've been driving with no car payments for 17 yrs....
This is hands down the very best vehicle ever made by any manufacturer... Ford. Chevy. Dodge not even close...
2008 230k Tundra is so reliable too! Tires, Oil (Synthetic) every 5k and change the differential and transmission fluid every 100k.
Differential and transmission fluid every 100,000 miles or kilometres?
thats grate my dad has a 2002 Toyota tundra he got it wean i was born in 2002 and its 2023 and its still running 390k miles he had to replace the back mid exhaust but other than that its runing stong and now i drive it to work wile i save for one! keep up the good work
A friend of mine did upgrade his hitch as he was rear ended just like you. He upgraded to a heavy duty one. Next time he got rear ended it was the frame that got damaged and not the hitch. He regretted instantly the upgrade. And he wasn’t even hit that hard the second time. I won’t be upgrading mine, sometimes you want a sacrificial part to take the beating and save the truck.
Thank you for explaining why a true winter tire is more proper to wear in North America, during the winter months, for not just ice and snow, but because of the grip/performance in the lower temperature. I fully recommend Supertech (Warren Distribution Co.) full-synthetic, can buy a 4+ liter jug for $15US, at Walmart stores or online, performs as good as Redline and Amazon, I use it for all of my family's vehicles. Don't let the price-point fool ya, Supertech is the best and is super cheap.
That said I used to be a Mobil 1 guy, then switched to Valvoline, then found Supertech.
Watching you guys repair the tundra reminds me of car mechanic simulator for some random reasons😂
Yes, by far! If you want Corinthian leather, Burlwood Trim, and a 36745 speaker stereo system, then the Tundra is NOT for you! If you want the most reliable and capable truck in the world, then the Tundra is your choice!
Tundra isn't the most reliable and capable truck in the world. The Toyota can't and doesn't compete with the Power Wagon or the Raptor. It certainly can't best my dream truck. The Marauder. The Marauder can survive I.E.D. blasts and drive away unharmed. There is also the Mercedes Unimog. Bests the Toyota is pretty much all categories. It's fine to love what you drive and want what you have. There is always something better out there. My 2000 Ram 1500 is @250k miles and still working just fine.
Have to disagree. Get a Model 1794, and have both!
@@petehoward8494 I have a Platinum, it has NOWHERE near the features of newer Fords, GMCs, or Rams, it is a 14 year old design,
I love that you show normal cars... regards from Lima, Perú
I have an 05 first gen limited, it has 40k on it, looks like it just came out of the show room, unfortunately lack of use and age caused a few problems, the evap system had to be replaced,
there was a recall, but for some reason I never got it, I took it to toyota and they said I missed the deadline by 1 year, they wanted 4k to fix it, it cost me 1600$ at my local garage, because of age I was afraid the timing belt was going to go so I had that replaced, while they took the engine apart they found that the water pump and the radiator were leaking, 1200$ later I have all new belts, water pump, radiator and tensioner pulley, so after 15 yrs, all I spent was 2800$. Love my truck, it will be a hand me down for my grandkids.
We had a 1st gen Tundra too and it was a fantastic truck! Only ever had to change the alternator belt and do the usual oil changes and brake jobs while towing race cars all over the continent 👍🏼
Mine is a 2007 with 190,000 km on it. It’s running flawlessly and it’s rare. A reg cab 6.5 ft box. Not to many of these around. 4.7 v8, synthetic oil changes that I do myself so hoping to get 500,000 km out of this truck!
Just bought an 07 5.7 4x4 with 220k miles. It's like buying other cars with 40k miles. Not worried at all.
How’s that going any issues ?
I have a 2013 Tundra. 105000 miles runs like the day I bought it. Although I had a 2015 corolla and ac went out twice once under warranty. I sold it second time.
Just bought a 2012 Tundra with 175k miles for $14k and I love it so much its so hany!
Well done!! The tundra came out great! I really cant wait to afford to do the things you guys are able to!
Those trucks are the bomb. Can't beat toytoy reliability 🤘
Great video, and big thanks to all the links you guys always put in your description. I have an 07 Tundra as well and I also need a new rear bumper and breaks in the future so perfect timing.
I have 140k on my 2014 Tundra. Ive only had 2 signal bulbs go out. Just changed my drive belt at 140k to be safe because it started to make some noise on cold starts. This truck will last a lifetime.
Yes, I have a Tundra too. On my way to the million miles Tundra club 👍
I have a 2008 was a basket case when I picked it up. Front end suspension refresh and new rad and water pump she is perfect. Looking forward to 300k out of the old 5.7
I bought a 2010 tundra 5.7l sr-5 doublecab long box and it had 92k on it 5 months ago when I bought it now it has just over 100k and besides gas and an oil change its been great to me I love it
Hell yes!!!!! Thanks DP and PT for this video!
2010 owner and it’s the grade version with a 4.0 v6. It’s a little tugboat. Even their cheapest model is top notch
ad placement to the max haha. you guys do a stellar job hiding it. I was okay with it.
As someone in the technology field, I would be incredibly wary of trusting ANY part of my braking system to a bluetooth connection. Especially one that has to communicate through 10 feet of iron and steel.
I agree, Tech KILLS reliability.
I agree. I'm skeptical of the electronic brake controllers in general, the admittedly small knowlege I have of them make them seem like hacky DIY things to install, and doesn't seem to be anywhere near idiot proof. As far as I know, only fully mechanical, inertia controlled brakes are used in Europe for anything meant to hook up to a car or pickup. This style of brakes adjust brake pressure automatically and fully mechanically based on the pressure the trailer exerts on the hitch, and is basically idiot proof as long as the hitch is secured to the vehicle.
Also be skeptical of any video with many amzn links !
I have the prodigy wireless brake controller and it makes me nervous but it has always worked, but it doesn't work by bluetooth.
100% agree, not a good idea, just on the security of Bluetooth. Just think of the nefarious actions someone could take with this....
VikingContact, what a bad ass tire name
i use rust check coat and protect it keeps all my vehicles rust free (did it every year since new) never used fluid film before
Big mistake going with Power stops after DBA. They won't last half as long.
The pads that came on my car crumbled with 50% pad life. If I had known they were PowerStop, I would have replaced then as soo. as I got the car home.
3/13/20 I’m 42,000 miles on my 2007 Toyota TUNDRA 👍🏽💀runs like new 😂
I've been watching your videos for a little bit now - the STi build, the BMW build, the Evo Build, and now these update videos. You've become my new favorite automotive youtube channel, I love your quality and the work you guys do! Keep up the great work, you guys deserve at least 1M subs!!
Thank you for the kind words!
My 07 Tundra 5.7 4x4 has 283k, still runs great!!! Our 06 Highlander has 314k, runs great!!!
Hey fellow Ontarian! Great video mate! 140k miles is barely broken in! My 87 4R head gaskets finally got out after 420k km (close to 280k miles), original everything except for the alternator. I'm at my third Toyota, and these trucks run for-ever. I would be surprised if you have any real issue for another 150k miles on the v8. Cheers!
225k on my 2011 5.7. No issues can’t beat them.
I love a good vehicle refresh video. Thanks guys!
We sold some those tires at our shop. They are insaaaanely good
Been looking at one of these for the future. nice review guys.
I wish the two American brands, GM and Ford would make their trucks reliable like tundras since they look so much better.
My 07 5.7 510,000 Sr5 4 door long bed it's my every day work truck will use it till I retire from the construction business maybe 7 more years but it might outlast me !!!
Love those tundras. Nothing lasts like them!
Ate they better than Tacoma's
@@leroystrokesmen5666 both great trucks but depends if you want a 1/4 ton or a 1/2 ton
Hilux
ARGH why does Pete always have to touch and eat weird stuff he finds in cars xD.
Truck cleaned up great! Glad the TEs survived the blowout as well. Definitely going to check out the undercoating as well. The one trip up to you guys made my poor Dodge break out in all kinds of rust, lol!
I didn't see anyone cleaning off any rust before underseal?
David Thomas there’s no point. It’s a Canadian truck that will see a ton of salt every year. This just slows down the rust not convert it.
Doesn't matter with fluid film and other oil undercoatings, the idea is to just stop air and salt getting at the metal. Ideally it should just stay the same as it was before undercoating and not get worse.
Appreciate the videos. And I appreciate you guys flying our flag in your shop 🇺🇸🇨🇦 God bless, brothers.
Hi from Texas! I travel a lot on business, I have spent a lot of time in Ottawa and Toronto. Love hangin' out with y'all Canadians, as a whole you re just spun a little less tight than us Yanks. Thanks for the hi-mileage review of the Tundra, looking for my next full-size pick up and this is a strong contender.
Your shop truck has nicer rims than my daily!!! lol
I’m at 571000km on one Toyota Hilux
And 380000km on the other Hilux
Both still minty fresh
I like the clicking the fingers bit, yep we don’t need to watch ya wash the truck!
I put over 50 thousand miles on my 2004 Ford f150 v6 5 speed Heritage model in the last year and a half driving 100 miles a day for work. Nothing broke just oil change about every 3- 4 month
Over 600k miles on my 2011, tow daily and HEAVY loads. Battery replaced and typical maintenance
It funny how Toyota guys say yer I changed my battery some tyres one globe the front brakes like 2years ago! Because there is literally nothing goes wrong with them!
Gas mileage please? Looking 2012 Toyota 5.7 Any suggestions??
I pull a 45 ft flat bed conestoga trailer w a rolling tarp system. It has aluminum side rails with wheels the roll in it. Fluid film is the best lubricant to keep everything rolling smooth. I open n close the thing 20 30 times a day.
Most reliable brand period!
My brother in law Marc thinks Toyota is junk. He is not happy with his Tacoma and one of his coworkers has a Tundra and the timing chain tensioner failed causing catastrophic damage to some of the engine. Myself...i love Toyota...my 13 Taco has 162 000 kms. Only real problems is new rear springs....one hub/bearing and now my heated seats dont work. Overall, my truck has been outstanding. Next new truck will be a Tundra. Need more power to tow my camper.
Guysssss you always manage to install tires on backwards (rear right and possibly front left), please check the direction of rotation of the tires before installing them, they'll perform alot better
Cool. My ‘07 has 460k. Best truck ever made IMO.
Hello do you have to replace anything or anything wrong while you owned it?
Great video guys
100k miles on my ram still going strong 💪
I was looking forward to the Time Attack Tundra with a huge diffuser and wing.
😂😂😂
2008 tundra 4x4 120,469 miles 👍 5.7 V8 oil change every 5,000 miles Walmart oil super tech 👍 best part the truck is paid for 😀
106,000 miles on my TT. Just changed rotars and brakes. Other than that no problem
I looking to get a truck to own it for a long time.i appreciate your work guys, this will definitely informative to help me make decision.
Me again. I live in the UP of MI> The nearest car wash is 30 miles away. So, I hooked my hot water heater to the outside hose. Works great!!! Minimal rust on my autos.
